Charles’s comments from the Guilty Pleasures group.

Hi, we've done women writing about gay men (and what a good job they usually do of it!), but I was wondering if any of you had come across any novels (literary, genre, erotic) written by men (not necessarily gay) about lesbians. I'm sure there must be some, but I can't think of any at all.

The Erl-King by Michel Tournier when I was thirteen-ish. Unless you count the friendship between Philip and Jack in the Enid Blyton Adventure series---

Mary Renault did it. So can you! And I've heard that the author of Song of the Loon and the whole Loon series was a woman. Can anyone confirm this?

If you can deal with the sex (men on kids) in it, and can find a copy (I think it's out of print), Tides of Lust is a book you won't forget in a hurry.

Yes, I remember the sex with the homeless man scene as coming from The Motion of Light on Water as well.
